    Fantastic effort...the Community needs to.look into organic fertilizer made from leaves grass and soil plus water that is left to compost ...which is then applied to the soil with all the trees I am sure there is a good amount of leaves that can be used as ground cover snd that will decompose naturally....chemical fertiliser will only add to their problems and make the soil more infertile...

    David Nkwa, I pray that the international organization comes across this video and get to learn about the people of this community. I couldn’t sleep very well after watching this video because I have not seen a people so content. How much is a bag of fertilizer? The paramount chief should have been one of the delegates to Dubai for Climate Summit instead of people like Toke Makinwa.
